Mary welcomes back Juan Valdes of Reasons for Hope to discuss the hows and whys of critical thinking in a post-truth world. Humans bring many biases, indoctrinations and emotions to so many issues of the day, and seem content to take most things at face value instead of thinking things through in context. Words have meaning, and even before we speak, our thoughts have already given birth to a multitude of possible words - and actions. No believer can ever hope to be an effective apologist without understanding the importance of thinking things through - with the goal of giving an answer to all who ask about our hope. Social media, in fact, is probably the main contributor to the destruction of meaningful discourse in the public square. We talk about how critical thinking is indispensable in our lives at any age. Juan is the senior pastor of a Spanish-speaking congregation in Florida and has worked at a Christian school as both a chaplain and a teacher for more than 20 years. His educational background includes graduate work at Trinity Evangelical Divinity School, and master's degrees from Liberty Baptist Theological Seminary and Logos Graduate School. He has a Doctor of Ministry in Apologetics from Southern Evangelical Seminary. As an educated and experienced teacher of apologetics, Juan has taught Bible and Introduction to Philosophy at the High School level, and Theology, Bible, and Apologetics at the seminary level, in both English and Spanish.   Stand Up For The Truth Videos: https://rumble.com/user/CTRNOnline & https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCgQQSvKiMcglId7oGc5c46A

Republicans and their cheering fans in Con Inc. media are a bunch of listless vessels with no ideological direction on most issues. The one shining exception is the gun rights movement. We're joined today by Luis Valdes, national spokesman for Gun Owners of America, for a presentation on where things stand with gun rights both federally and in the states. Valdes celebrates numerous policy and legal successes of GOA, but also warns that there is more to be done. The gaping hole in gun rights is the gun-free zones.

Luis Valdes from Gun Owners of America returns for 2A Tuesday on the Marc Cox Morning Show, calling out the government's failure to address mental illness while scapegoating guns. Valdes and Marc agree that America doesn't have a gun problem—it has a mental health crisis.

Plus, he tears into the Biden administration's ongoing attempt to reclassify pistols as short-barreled rifles, despite legal precedent and court rulings against the ATF's brace ban.

We had the pleasure of interviewing Sofía Valdés over Zoom video!Acclaimed Panamanian singer-songwriter Sofía Valdés unveils her anxiously awaited self-titled debut album, Sofía Valdés, out now via Warner Records.In bringing the 10-track album to life, Sofía worked extensively with producers Michael Uzowuru (known for his work on groundbreaking albums like Rosalía's Motomami and SZA's Ctrl), Alex Goose (Vince Staples, Childish Gambino) and Carter Lang (SZA, Lykke Li), as well as in-demand musicians like Local Natives guitarist Ryan Hahn and Diana Gordon.From the epic “Tacones Por La Puerta” featuring cinematic strings from acclaimed Brazilian composer Arthur Verocai to the guitar-driven funk of “Already Yours” and the tender plea on “Un Momento,” the album affirms Sofía as a bold and eloquent songwriter inspired by her family's deep, multi-generational connection to music.She paved the way for the album's arrival with fan favorite collaborations with Latin sensations DannyLux on “Lento” and Cuco on “How's That Working Out,” which earned widespread critical praise, including Rolling Stone who hailed its “modern bossa nova blend of jangly guitar and sleek beats perfect for late summer,” and Ones To Watch who called it “a collab of indie Latino royalty."Her catalog to date — including her previous EPs Silvia, In Bloom, and Ventura — has received a long list of critical acclaim from the likes of NPR, W Magazine, Interview Magazine, NYLON, and many more for her beautifully original blend of bossa nova, folk, and pop.ABOUT SOFÍA VALDÉS Sofia Valdes, a singer/songwriter born and bred in Panama, creates the kind of emo onally honest and beautifully original pop music that could only come from years of exploration. After learning to play guitar at the age of eight and writing her first song at 13, the independent-minded artist sharpened her craft in part by building an eclectic sonic vocabulary informed by everything from folk and bossa nova to '60s Motown and '70s soul. Valdes alchemizes those inspira ons into a sound all her own, gracing each track with her indelible songwriting and beguiling voice. With its transcendent melodies and shapeshifting rhythms, Ventura is an elegant introduction the vibrant musicality that may very well be in Valdes's blood: her great-grandfather was the legendary Cuban musician Miguelito Valdes, and her great-great grandmother was Silvia De Grasse (a Panamanian singer who once performed with Louis Armstrong). We want to hear from you!

Seattle adds some much-needed depth

Depuis 2007, une série de découvertes macabres a semé le trouble sur la côte ouest du Canada : des pieds humains, encore enfermés dans des chaussures, ont été retrouvés échoués sur les plages de la Colombie-Britannique. À ce jour, plus de 20 pieds ont été découverts, soulevant de nombreuses théories allant de crimes en série à des phénomènes naturels inexpliqués.Les premières découvertes (2007-2008)Tout commence le 20 août 2007, lorsqu'une adolescente qui se promenait sur une plage de l'île de Jedediah, au nord de Vancouver, tombe sur une chaussure flottant dans l'eau. En l'ouvrant, elle découvre avec horreur qu'un pied humain s'y trouve toujours.Quelques mois plus tard, en février 2008, un deuxième pied est retrouvé sur l'île de Gabriola. Puis un troisième en mai, sur l'île de Valdes. Tous étaient chaussés de baskets modernes. La police et les médias commencent à parler d'une "énigme des pieds coupés".L'ampleur du mystèreAu fil des années, les découvertes continuent. Parfois, les pieds appartiennent à des personnes différentes, parfois ils forment une paire. Mais il n'y a aucun corps attaché aux membres retrouvés. Et surtout, aucun signe évident de coupure nette ou de violence : les pieds semblent s'être détachés naturellement.Les enquêteurs examinent plusieurs hypothèses :Un tueur en série ? Certains médias évoquent la possibilité d'un assassin qui découperait ses victimes et jetterait leurs membres à la mer.Des victimes de naufrages ou de crashs d'avion ? La région est connue pour ses eaux agitées et plusieurs accidents maritimes ont eu lieu.Des suicides ? Vancouver possède l'un des taux de suicide les plus élevés du Canada.
